If I were to set my router to operate only at 5 GHz &amp; connect this bridge to a device that can only handle 2.4 GHz (e.g. PS4), would the device work?

Hi Robby. If you plug in the Linksys WES610N to your PS4's Ethernet port, the bridge will act as the wireless adapter. It will only see the 5 GHz network of the wireless router.

Here is a link to support at D-Link for this product. http://support.dlink.com/ProductInfo.aspx?m=DWA-652 It is discontinued but you can contact their support directly from here for assistance. It should work just by running the driver disk. It is backwards compatible. But the 1st answer is correct "This device does not support 5GHz. Its frequency range is 2.4GHz to 2.4835GHz. "

It is not compatible with a 2.4 GHz adapter. It is strictly 5 GHz. If you need 2.4 GHz, purchase an access point with that capability included.

I have two of these in use where I live. Both are in bridge mode. I bought them when I was still very limited in my networking knowledge, so any initial issues I had were simply due to my lack of experience. I do not remember ever having issues with hardware. If you are only having issues with 5 GHz, then perhaps you are pushing its range limits? While 5 GHz is awesome, it doesn't have as long of a range that 2.4 GHz does. http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/24246/~/what-is-the-difference-between-2.4-ghz-%26-5ghz%3F

Extender only but I have mine set-up next to the equipment (X-Box, Blu-ray player, TV) on the other room and have them plugged into the unit itself so I can solidly stream media between the extender and router via the 5GHz bandwidth and then send out a 2.4 GHz signal for tablets, guest networks, etc. from the extender. Netgear calls the the "fastlane" approach. I have this laptop connect to the router via the now less crowded 2.4 GHz bandwidth channel since I have each (router and extender) set to use different 2.4 Ghz channels for broadcasting while connecting to each other via the 5 GHz bandwidth. This minimizes interference.

Yes, all WRT54GL routers operates on 2.4GHz only. As for the version number, it can either be version 1.0 or 1.1 depending on which is available in Amazon.

I use it with my Roku 2 XS but am going to get a 5ghz version, we have over 20 routers on 2.4ghz in our neighborhood.

I have a dual-band router... the Asus "Dark Knight" router (a VERY nice router). It has both 5.0 and 2.4 bands on "n" wireless. My BD device only sees the 2.4 band. In fact, I only have a couple of devices which can see my "5.0" channel. In those cases, I always connect them to the 5.0 band, because it's so seldom used otherwise.

I would think this is possible... but you need to keep the packet hops to a minimum... you are already at 4 with just the bridges with this given configuration.

the bridge is meant to connect the network interface of any other device which has a wired (RJ-45) and connect it to the router, using a 5GHz signal. If you use a dual frequency router (2.4 GHz & 5 GHz), devices using one or another frequency can see each other. But, hasn't your Vizio HD tv a wireless interface, so it can connect directly to your router by wireless? And I don't think you can use the HDTV as a screen using the ethernet input. That is meant to connect your tv for it's internet functions. If you want to use the HDTV as a screen, you better use RGB pc or HDMI connector, depending what is available on your MAC. Long HDMI and RGB cables (10 meter) are available.

I picked up one of these for $5 from the egg-heads to try to use as a wireless bridge. From what I can tell, it has a proprietary repeater mode that only works if you have multiple N150 routers. I do not see a way to use this as a bridge to another type of router.

wifi dual range run both 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz -- 2.4 typically has much larger range, but the channels are separate so if you set upa bridge to extend your wifi range and it can use the 5ghz channel, you get higher total throughput on the extended 2.4 channel since it won't use your existing 2.4 bandwidth. The net performance on the extended link is a bit lower since you'll have a bit of latency as the bridge needs to retransmit packets to your wifi hub.

this depends on how you have it set up you can go to config on your adapter and choose ho to connect i have an ac router so i connect to the 5ghz network if your router has dual ssid one for 2.4 and one for 5 ghz connect to the 5 i recommend leaving set to auto which works great for me in case you happen to go somewher where only 2.4 is avialabe. hope this answers your question.

Make sure you set it up correctly. The 2.4 and 5 Ghz channels need to be different names, and the IP address needs to be something other than 192.168.1.1, I use 192.168.1.XXX, with XXX being between 5 and 225...

I don't think so. My router has both 2.4/5, but it only showed the 2.4 connection

Yes, you can keep 2.4 and 5ghz clients separated... You can name your 5ghz something like mySSID_5 and mySSID_2.4 and then have different passwords for them.. . you can also create guest networks that sit on 2.4 AND 5ghz and use different passwords for those as well...

This tablet will connect to a 5 Ghz router pushing a 2.4 Ghz signal, the wireless card in it is only 802.11 b/g/n.
